PCMH 2025 Post Hospital Follow-Up Sprint - Session #3 - JHF
Participants will engage in peer-to-peer learning around implementation of key interventions, including successful tactics and challenges and barriers. Participants will also learn about role of risk stratification in effective post-hospitalization follow-up for primary care practices and discuss tactics for implementation.
Agenda:
9:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. – Welcome, Survey Feedback & Presentation on high level framing of the impact of risk-stratified hospital follow up and evidence for what works – Suzanne Cohen, MPH, Senior Director of Population Health, Health Federation of Philadelphia
- Share evidence-base for risk stratified hospital follow-up
- Present survey data results
9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. – PCMH report outs on risk stratification approach
- What (if any) risk stratification algorithm is your PCMH using?
- How are you getting access to the data needed for accurate risk stratification.
- How is the risk level presented to your teams?
- How are you using risk stratification? i.e. who gets prioritized? Is there a cutoff for who gets follow-up? Are different team members/timeframes assigned based on risk?
- Are you able to measure results/impact on readmissions or other outcome measures based on risk?
- What questions do you have for us about risk stratification in effective post-hospitalization follow-up?
